Our most frequently provided Data Recovery service is recovery from failed, damaged or corrupted External/Portable or Internal Hard Drives.  The Hard Disk Drive (HDD) appeared in 1956 as secondary storage device for computers, until the introduction of the solid-state drives (SSD) which provide better reliability due to higher storage density and data-transfer rates. Hard Drives are non-volatile electro-mechanical data storage devices, which retain stored data even without power. This means that in event of malfunction, accidental damage, system failure, or deletion, salvaging data files is possible by partitioning them away from the OS system files.
 

Data Loss

The experience of unexpectedly losing Data of irreplaceable digital files is more than an inconvenience. Often this computer file data has sentimental value or in some cases would require re-doing work which would take hours/days/weeks. Data Loss occurs when there is information system error on your computer hard drive. File data is destroyed by system failure in the storage, or the processing or transmission state. Information systems by design have regular restore point backups to assist in recovery in instances of file system corruption. Operating systems have data loss prevention processes and of course there is software to salvage or restore lost data files. Loss of computer file data can be for many reasons, commonly hardware failure or human error. Other reasons could include:
  • Accidental or intentional file deletion of a program or digital file.
  • Misplacement or loss of data storage device such as USB, External Hard Drive, Memory Sticks, CD's or other.
  • Administration or Human error.
  • Operating system unable to read unknown file format
  • Power failure causing volatile memory data not being saved to permanent storage memory.
  • Hardware failure, such as a head crash in a hard disk
  • Software freeze or crash, so data cannot be saved.
  • Software bugs
  • Business failure (bankruptcy) of a software vendor who ceases operational trading
  • Data corruption, file system corruption, or data corruption.
  • Natural disaster, like flood or fire.
  • File camouflage by Hacking, sabotage, worm, virus, SQL injection, or theft of physical media.
We strongly advise against trying to fix the issue yourselves using free data recovery software, Disk Partition Recovery or Rescue discs, as the sooner the corrupted drive is off and sent to an expert, the higher the chances of total electronic file recovery. Common issues for hard drive failure are water damage, overheating, parts failure, impact damage, power failure, corrupted files and human error. All can be overcome and the data recovered as long as the hard drive platters are undamaged. 

File corruption

A corrupted computer file is because its contents have been written or overwritten to the file system in a method that renders it unreadable, either by a human or more likely software crash or failure. In cases where an original exists, the previous version of the file can often be recovered. But in cases where the original file was created corrupt when written to the hard disk, there may be nothing to salvage.
 
Files could become corrupt because:
  • Power down of computer or external hard drive in the process of saving.
  • Interruption of download.
  • Hard drive bad sector issue.
  • Non safely removal of USB flashdrive
  • Flash drive failure
  • Malicious computer virus
While external backing up of important files is an arduous task, this does give the option of data restore if required.

Data Recovery Process

We use a specialised cleanroom Data recovery lab with a service area (computing) where we can use a advanced technique called MFSTM (Magnetic Force Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy) to salvage data. We also provide a computer forensics expert service for recovery of Crypto-shredded, encrypted, hidden electronic file or hidden directory which can occur in virus attacks or ransomware. There are four main phases of a successful Data recovery process, depending on the type of data corruption and the level of damage to the device.
 
Phase 1
 
We repair the hard disk drive to get it running so the data is readable. This may required parts to be fixed or replaced, like the heads, spindle motor or the printed circuit board (PCB). It may require moving of the platters and heads to a new drive.
 
Phase 2
 
We then create an image of the failed hard drive data hierarchy to prevent further damage loss. This soft copy is worked on to preserve the source drive and maximise the level of data recovery.
 
Phase 3
 
We perform a logical recovery of data files by scanning the file directory system area and crosslinked file. Investigating route cause analysis of the corruption, and attempt to repair the partition table or master boot record (MBR). The aim is to read the file systems data structure, essential in the retrieval of salvage data.
 
Phase 4
 
We reconstruct the drive sector flat file database to make the data and file system readable again. This enables the corrupted data to be recovered or reconstructed, and moved to a new data source device that we can return to you.

Photo Recovery

Photo Data Recovery and Picture Recovery is also a common service. This could relate to USB Flash Drives/Memory Sticks, Mobile Phones, or SD Card Recovery. And also perhaps a lost backup of photo files on internal or external hard-drives. We have a proven success rate of fully recovering photos with SD card data recovery in cases of damage, corruption and accidental deletion. It is important to point out that due to file system fragmentation, on average 16% of JPEGs are fragmented. This means that free photo recovery software has a lower success rate, and likely will partially recover photos or appear corrupt. Our data recovery methods give a better chance of full recovery, but fragmentation may still occur. If you are looking for a specific photo set we can search by filename and try to prioritise this.

I run a local PC shop in Belfast and a client had a problem with a Buffalo Linkstation Drive. Your data recovery service is so quick and easy we often use it for several of our clients. 100% record so far in recovering data files from external hard drives, USB sticks, Laptops & Computers, to camera SD cards. You’ve never let us down and your communication is dead on. The best data recovery in the UK, bar none.

John Lyons, Belfast

I thought I had lost my final years university work when my Western Digital External Hard Disk stopped working and my boyfriend tried to fix it with a free data recovery software. I think my screams must have been heard all over Magee Campus when all appeared lost. Luckily Easy Recovery saved me from a nervous breakdown, and they sent me back a USB with my dissertation and all other data files fully recovered on it. A Professional service, highly recommended.

Maggie Boyle, Ulster University, Derry

A HP Raid 5 Server that had two failed disks. The HP Proliant server contained critical data for a factory, partition recovery was completed over a weekend so that we could reopen factory on Monday morning. Great work from you guys, a thoroughly professional file recovery service

Paul O Dowd, Enniskillen

I am a teacher at St Marys and I dropped my Toshiba laptop that contained 5 years of teaching resources and was broken beyond repair with the dreaded Blue Screen of Death. I searched on google for Data Recovery Services in the UK and found these guys. They removed the HHD and I’m pleased to report that they were able to recover all the data from the hard drive. I had it all back in my possession within 3 days, so a top, speedy service.

St Marys, Newry

The hard drive on our Apple iMac contained pictures and video of our children and it just stopped working. Why are there no Apple Stores in Ireland! We found some so called Mac experts on Grafton Street but they could do nothing for us, but luckily they recommended Easy Data Recovery. What a breeze of a service, had it back in no time at all just as it was. Many thanks for recovering my iMac Data, what a brilliant service.

Joan Waters, Dublin

What a brilliant data recovery service. I’m just after receiving the file data by courier today from genuine file recovery experts. Many thanks for recovering the data from our Small Business Drobo Server that stores pictures of our clients recent wedding day pictures. Data recovery software does not work, but you guys performed a miracle and I will forever be grateful.

Nicola Ward, Cork

You are a life saver, all of my business files were on the Dell PC computer and I was hit by a nasty malware ransomware virus. Thanks for keeping me calm and assuring me you could recover the data and stopped me trying myself at ransomware removal. I am so glad I trusted you, and I got my PC back data recovery free from virus with some great advice on future protection. A speedy service, 5 stars!!!

Martin Flannery, London

My company Finn McCool use Easy Recovery for all of our business needs. I highly recommend Tony and his team as they are the best data recovery service in the UK I have found. They have recovered valuable data on our Macs, and SSD Memory Cards. I cannot fault their services, particularly when they performed a business critical hard drive recovery. We recommend them heartily to all of our clients who also give glowing feedback.

Ciaran, Cork

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Other companies said all my valuable pictures had been lost, my wedding pictures, kids first steps, so many precious memories. But you managed to save most of it for me and I can’t thank you enough. I honestly cried when I thought it was gone, but your Easy Data Recovery Service really did exactly that, just posted off the hard drive and got it back on a USB stick. Did I say thank you enough?

Mina Gonzalez, London

Well what Microsoft managed to lose quick enough in a windows 10 update, Easy Recovery managed to get it back. Communication was brilliant, and they let me know exactly what they had to do and how much it would cost. Absolutely outstanding quick and efficient service. Excellent data recovery service that saved me more heart ache than I could deal with. Top marks!

Paul Duggan, Manchester

I was completely devo’d when I knocked my Seagate hard drive onto the patio and cracked the case. It just made loud noises and had some sort of bootup failure. So glad I shopped around at got quotes from a variety of companies. I thought I was taking a chance on Easy Data Recovery, but they were amazing. I simply sent it off to them, and had it back in under a week. Tony was great and kept me updated at every step of the process, but importantly recovered almost all of my 4TB Seagate External Hard Drive, completely restoring with all folders and file names intact. Best of all, there was no nasty surprise with the bill with it being exactly the same as the reasonable quote. Would use again.

Jason York, Liverpool

I’ve recently comeback from a holiday of a lifetime in New Zealand, and was absolutely raging when the camera memory card was not working when I tried to present them to the family. Instead of them seeing my 1000’s of pictures, all they saw was a black screen and an error message saying ‘SD card is not accessible. The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.’

I tried it on my laptop and it gave a different error message of ‘Read / Write error on SD card’, which my techy savvy bairn said it could not read from the device and I’d have to go back again. Aye right, ya gadge!

Lucky for him I found Easy Recovery and they were more useful and all I had to do is send it to them and it came back a few days later in the post, all my precious memories back again. Now I can show my pictures to the clan whenever they try to come round.

Patrick McAteer, Edinburgh

I stupidly deleted a very important folder on my PC when trying to clear some space and desperately tried to recover my files. I tried all sorts of free data recovery software but none seemed to fully recover it. I googled “how to recover deleted files” and tried everything I found with no luck and bit the bullet and sought assistance from a professional data service. Easy Recovery were brilliant and with full confidentiality got my computer back complete with restore deleted files. Could not be happier.

Rob Concannon, Birmingham

I run the IT department for a small financial business and use a RAID 6 with 4 HDDs. I thought this was adequately set up to take a two-drive failure but did not account for an expert hack to use our server to send phishing emails and add deceptive pages to all of our sites,. Of course they helpfully deleted all of my backups to stop me rolling back. My directors were not happy to see the big red google warning on all our sites, so to say I was under pressure to resolve it quickly was an understatement. Luckily Easy Data Recovery were able to extract some recent workable backups while I cleaned up my server to restore parity. A highly efficient and quick process., and I literally cannot thank them enough and they are without doubt the best data recovery company in the UK.
